I liked this but I didn’t love it. Enemies to lovers is never my favorite and it’s because I feel like there’s just suddenly a switch . Also this felt very similar to another cowboy romance book I’ve read

wow who woulda thought a cowboy dilf with a breeding kink and a loud smartass redheaded woman would be the sexiest couple to ever exist (me. i did. since the first time they ever interacted)

thanks netgalley for the arc but i will now be needing an arc of wild and wrangled desperately

Thank you to Dial Press and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lyla Sage just keeps getting better. Gus and Teddy’s story might be my favorite of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, and I’m already impatient for the next one!

The tension between Teddy and Gus is DELICIOUS! This was an absolute page turner for me, I actually had to slow myself down! I was tempted to devour it but decided to stretch it out over a few days so I could enjoy it longer.

Lyla Sage is an auto buy author for me, I am in love with her banter, character development, and sweet, sexy love stories. The whole Ryder family has my heart!!

Ever since reading Done and Dusted, I’ve been wanting to read Teddy’s story, and I have to say that it does not disappoint. I’m so happy to get to know her character more as well as Gus’ character. The romance was honestly my favourite from the series, and I loved the couple so much. 10/10 would recommend!

This was absolutely perfect in every iteration of the word. There's something about Lyla Sage's writing that sucks you in and you just don't want to put the book down. It feels like coming home truly.

I was highly anticipating Gus and Teddy's story and it was everything and more I hoped for. The romance, the found family, the descriptions -- I loved everything about it and I already can't wait to reread it.

A new favorite book of all time for sure!

I'm so so thankful for the early copy!!!

GID-DY UP. Lyla Sage just knows whats going on. 10/10 spice, 10/10 plot, 10/10 book. I am totally in my cowboy era this summer and I absolutely adored this book. I wish that it was coming out sooner but I will be gushing about Gus Ryder until furhter notice.

I overall really enjoyed this addition to the series. Teddy and Gus were wonderful to read about and see their relationship develop. Teddy was one of those characters that felt show stopping in such a small town. I did think there was almost a slightly too fast turnaround when they got together, but otherwise the relationship developed pretty well. I thought their engagement came too quickly, but that may just be my opinion and it's possible that the characters were ready for something like that towards the end.

I liked how confident Gus felt about their relationship in public; he never felt the need to get super jealous of other men because he knew Teddy was his. He made it so Teddy could continue shining while he just enjoyed the view.

Surprisingly, one of my favorite aspects of the book was Teddy and Emmy's relationship. I felt that the conversations they ended up having were very mature. The characters did feel like there was a strain on their relationship, so I was glad when they spoke about their issues and gave each other space to consider. They both obviously want whats best for each other.

Where do I even begin? Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage had me staying up late just to finish chapters and had me smiling at my kindle screen. Best friend’s brother, nanny and single dad, forced proximity and enemies to lovers. What more could you ask for? I fell in love with Gus and Teddy and how their relationship fell into place. I will be buying a physical copy of this book because, yes, it was just that good! Everyone needs to keep their eyes peeled on November 5, 2024! Anxiously anticipating a book about Dusty and Cam next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for sending me an eARC

This series is so cute. This third book is light and a quick read. All of the books have a happy ending, and it's fun to connect all of the characters between each. The author does a great job developing the characters in a short amount of time. There are longer books where the author "tells" instead of "shows" the reader--Lyla Sage avoids it. Lost and Lassoed would make a great beach read or a palate cleanser after something heavy!

I’ve been waiting for this since book one 🤩 as always, Lila did not disappoint. I could not put it down. Even when I was supposed to do homework, Teddy and Gus were far more important. 🥰

Spoiler Free Review!
When I saw this pop up on NetGalley I almost lost my mino with anticipation waiting to get approved! But I did and let me tell you I have thought about nothing but these two for DAYS! @authorlylasage brings us right back to Rebel Blue and hands us another love story for the ages.
I'm still gathering my thoughts but I see soooo much of myself in Teddy and just love her as a character and I'm so glad she finally got her love story. I can't wait for everyone to love these two as much as I do!

Gus and Teddy stole a piece of my heart and carved their name on my soul right next to Lemmy and Wada. I took forever to finish reading this book because I never wanted it to end. I savored every word, clawing at my heart and scrambling for a way to imprint this universe into my skin. There is something about Lyla's writing, this world, and these characters that scratches an itch in my brain few things can reach. 1 feel safe here. I feel at peace. I feel seen and warm and taken care of, by Lyla, by Gus and Teddy, by Amos, by Rebel Blue, by Meadowlark. One of the things I have loved the most about getting to read both Swift and Saddled and Lost and Lassoed is the way Lyla pushes on our initial impressions of these characters, and makes them so much more full and nuanced and complex than what our knowledge of them from the previous books would suggest. She adds depth in such a meaningful way that challenges my initial understanding of them but simultaneously feels so true to their characters when I stop and think about it. It's masterful. And what she did with Gus and Teddy blew me away. These two FIT in ways I couldn't have predicted but made complete sense and fell together so naturally. Like puzzle pieces. Sharp edges that fit together seamlessly. They are what each other needed to desperately but couldn't put a voice to. They're far more than what meets the eye as individuals and together, far more than the bickering rivals we loved to see hate each other in books 1 & 2. Getting to know these two in the realest, rawest forms was beautiful and healing and fun and tender.

Fabulous romance novel of a hero and heroine who overcome their fears and find love! The characters of August/Gus and Theodora/Teddy were so like-able and hilarious in their enemies to lovers plot. It was a poignant love story with a single dad and his daughter. I think the love story was compelling and sexy! Also the plot about Teddy’s dad being seriously ill and her love for him was poignant and touching storytelling. I have not read Lyla Sage’s other books but this makes me want to read them all! Giddy up and read Lyla Sage for a galloping romance!!

Thank you for this ARC!

This is the third book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and I think they just get better and better. We follow Teddy and Gus as their relationship goes from hate to love; I enjoyed their character development and their banter with each other. Like the other books, some parts can feel a little cliche but overall it’s a solid plot and writing. I look forward to the next story and seeing what else this author will create.

Absolutely adore this series and devoured this book #3. Every character is well written and the banter is wonderfully fun. You care about everyone in the book and cheer for the single dad/little sister's best friend and the love/hate relationship the entire time. Add an adorable six-year old that needs a babysitter for the summer and you have yourself a good read. Highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next installment.

Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage continues her slam-dunk Rebel Blue Ranch series with a bang! I've been anticipating this story for a while, as the dynamic between Gus and Teddy have been building for two books now and needless to say, it did not disappoint!

The elements of the series that I love: the family dynamics, female friendships, small town vibes, continued in book three. It truly was so good to be back at Rebel Blue Ranch. And the witty banter and chemistry between our two leads was really engaging and fun. I could not put it down and read it in one sitting.

Overall, I gave this book a five star rating and I think at this point we can say that Lyla Sage is the standard for cowboy/western romances. You won't be disappointed picking this book up, so add it to your TBR!

FINALLY! I feel like I have been waiting for this from the moment I started reading this series. Teddy and Gus have tons of on-page chemistry in the first two books in the series, and we finally get to focus on them in this one. I was surprised by how sweet and thoughtful this was when I was fully prepared for it to just be a total hate sex fest. They were locked in a closet together in the first chapter and I was like "here we go!" but Lyla Sage knows how to slow the burn down while still giving readers what they want, so there was a great setup here. Teddy Andersen's world gets shaken up unexpectedly when the owner of the boutique for which she works sells the rights to the store name and closes up shop. She's feeling completely lost and doesn't know where to go next. Gus Ryder (a literal grumpy Gus) is struggling to single parent his daughter Riley for the summer while his co-parent, Riley's mom, is away for a legal internship. When Gus starts letting things slip, his sister Emmy suggests that he needs to get some help. Riley loves Teddy and vice versa, so Gus reluctantly agrees to pay Teddy to move in with him for part of the week to help him care for Riley. We finally learn the reason for their long-term enemy status (a hot kiss many years prior that Gus told Teddy to forget about), and we see their sniping at each other start to boil over with their close proximity. Their chemistry was wild and I'm amazed that Sage was able to make this so satisfying after a two book buildup. I loved being back at Rebel Blue Ranch, though there was a bit less talk of day-to-day ranch stuff in this one than I remember from the other two. The focus was really on Teddy, Gus, Riley, and their families. I loved this and can't wait for the next book in the series - the cliffhanger and excerpt from the next book have me regularly checking on release dates!

Very cute cowboy book! Single parent is one of my favorite tropes! This one is easily one of my favorites out of this series!

Lyla sage does it again ! I loved reading about Teddy and Gus. It was nice to see Gus in a different light. I've always loved Teddy but getting to be in her POV was a treat. I love that lyla can make the reader really connect and get attached to her characters. I want to be apart of the rebel blue family. 😭

One of the sweetest and spiciest modern day cowboy series. This was the one we were waiting for and it delivered everything! Excited to read #4!!!
